Errors Concerning the weather.


Few erroneous notions are spread so
readily and cling so tenaciously as those
respecting the weather In noticing COM
mon errors of this kind, Professor Cleye-
land Able, the distinguished meteorOlO-
gist, urges attention to these facts: That
while the moon might well be expected to
Influence our weather, scientific evidence
shows that it does not; that there is no
sound reason for believing that sun
spots have any appreciate effect in pro-
ducing storms, or other local changes;
that animal instinct ranks greatly below
human intelligence as a guide to future
weather; that the indications furnished
by plants are due to the microscopic
condition of the air, as are also other
''signS, and are less delicate and reli-
able than the accurate instrumental tests
of meteOrolOgists; that electricity and
ozone do not produce the effects often
ascribed to them; that thunderstOrms do
not cool the air, but the cool thrush re-
Suits like the storm, from the rise of hot
aE-at least in many cases; that it has
not yet been proven that the removal of
forests and the extension of railroads and
telegraphs have influenced our climate;
that the weather is materially the same as
in old fashioned times, scientific records
disproving the faulty recOllections of the
oldest inhabitant; and that severe storms
are no more liable to occur at the date of
the equinoxes, or on certain days of the
week or month, than at other times. =

DON'T Crowd Yonr BOY.

One more letter is all that our room
will allow 1t is short and to the point.
''Uncle Silas," he signs himself, and this
is what he says:
my boys are all out in the world and
doing well, thank God but sympathize
with the anxieties of fathers who have
yet to see how their boys will pan out
My plan always was to encourage the
boys in all possible ways. Remember that
all boys are not equally smart. Don't ex-
pect too much. Don't crowd your boy.
Above all don't be forever comparing him
unfavorably with some other boy, your
neighbours son. That sort of thing breaks
a boys spirit, destroys his pride, and he
may lose ali ambition. Protect him; build
him up on his weak spots; let him feel
that you are back of him; that, while you
expect him to plunge in and swim for
himself, still you have got a long pole
that you will reach out to him in case he
needs it. Don't hurry him if he is a little
bit slower than some other boys. Preco-
cious boys are not always nor often the
most successful men when they come to
the mature stage of life. Don't let your
boy get the idea that money is the sole
end and aim of existence. But teach him
thrift, and, by adding something to his
savings bank account, say So to every $50
he saves himself, teach him from the start
to realize the value of dollar laid by for
the rainy day. James w. Clarke in

Tic Stomach BLOW Must Go.

The impression is growing that pugi-
ism must get rid of it's brutal qualities,
and the first step toward that end will be
the abolition of the stomach blow. Scien-
tific sparring indicates chiefly the protec-
ton of the face. Now the stomach has
no protection. There is no bone there, as
in the case of the breast, to protect it, and
a blow is just as serious as it would be on
the belly. We might as well lower the
belt below the waist. Two or three sue
cessful stomach blows will do the strong
est man. From what 1 have heard the
sentiment of local pugilists and boxers IS
against the blow. If some paper would
take the matter into consideration there
might result definite good. Another blow
is the knock out. 1t generally settles the
man who gets it, but the question is of
getting in on the right spot. It's ques-
ton of skill. The blow goes straight
from the shoulder to small space on the
side of the neck With bare knuckles it
is a dangerous blow and is apt to kill a
man. But with gloves it is only liable to
put man to sleep. They tell me that
the blow produces a paralysis of the spinal
cord. There is science in that, but none
in the stomach blow.-Pugilist in Globe

Drink and Learninr.

One of the chief aphorisms of BriIIat-
Savarin, the philosophical gastronome,
was: '"Ten me what you eat and I will
tell you what you are.'' The famous DIR.
Arthaud, who wrote a learned dissertation
on vines and wines, said: ''The witty
magistrate approached the truth had he
written, Tell me what you drink and /
will tell you what you are" He insists
that a tea drinker never was, never can
be, jolly good fellow; that the poverty
in musical genius of great tea drinkers,
such as the Chinese and the English,
arises from no other cause. Bacchus gave
up part of his empire to incense, myrrh,
nard and opium, and with the introduc-
ton of these drugs art, science and litera-
ture declined, and the civilization of
Greece passed with the vine into Italy.
DR.. Arthaud was Frenchman and lover
of French wines; therefore he detested
beer and those who delight in it, saying of
the German people generally, that if they
had multiplied their wine stocks instead
of hops and pies, they would have COM
manded an enviable political position

AN AcrREss, WONDERFUL Ar.

The Unborn Magnetic Power of the Ar
fist Illustrated in a Recitation.
Some time ago Nine. Modjeska, who
happened to be. spending Sunday in New
York, was talking to some friends in her
rooms at the Clarendon hotel about her
art, always with her a favorite topic. She
had discussed the approaching subsection
If the stage to liberalism, which she
believes will soon rule there as in the
novel, and the chat turned on the actor
art Some one suggested that what may
be termed the technique of acting weighed
but little when placed in the scale against
the Unborn magnetic power of the artist.
Nine ModjeSka rendered a qualifying
assent to this proposition, claiming that
an actor or actress of power can by the
simplest means convey an emotion to her
audience by putting himself or herself as
it were en- rapport with them and depend
ing not at all upon the words given by the
author
The famous little German monologue
called in English s'Come Here'' was men
toned, and finally Nine. Mojeska offered
to give recitation in the same vein. She
had often, she said, given it in Polish to
English speaking auditors, and had often
been begged for a translation. Simple
though the trifle was, she thought it re-
markable for the varying emotions it
called into play. 81 have, in fact" she
added, ''to run the whole gamut from ten
derness to despair and from caressing love
to whitening scorn.'' One of those pres
ent had heard this recitation given in the
original by MOdjeska and insisted that
whoever the author might be, share of
praise was due to him for embodying in
such small compass SO many states of feel
ing.
With smile Modjeska began, first Of
all apOlOgizing for what she called her
necessarily rough and imperfect transIa-
lation of her fellow countryman's poetry
into English. Then with the tenderness
of a young girl first whispering to herself
her lovers name, she breathed out cone"
a pause and shade of suspicion crept
into her tones as she asked herself the
hesitating question: ''Two?'' Her woman's
faith, stronger than reason and triumph
ing over actual proof perhaps, rang in the
clear sound of her resolute ''Three." By
this time her auditors were divided be-
tween the admiration of the art which
was something more than Evolutionary,
and amusement al the little trick she had
played, not only on them but on the many
assemblies to whom she had recited her
''Polish poem.' But as the recitation
proceeded and she sounded every note of
human passion and emotion they burst
into continued applause. Finally, number
after number having been given a dis
tinct meaning, the whirlwind of indignant
Scorn and indignation and the accompany
ing regal gesture with which the climax
''forty' came drought down the house."
and her point was gained. ''You can
make tragedy of the multiplication table
and comedy of a long division sum-

her.-New York Tribune

One of nIexioo,s oniet Citie.-

Our next stop was made at Siloa, a quiet
city of $4,000 inhabitants, the towers,
spires and nlinarets of its massive houses
of worship rising high above the low
thatched dwellings of its residents, rich
and poor. Its beautiful gardens and clean
kept courts are filed with choicest flower
ing plants and semi tropical exotics The
city band gave concert in the evening in
honor of our visit. Our Pullman train
was side tracked for the night, and we
slept soundly, to be awakened with the
morning light by a jargon of beIls-as
though struck by a thousand sledge
hammers. The bells in this strange land
all came from Spain, and every. old cath
edral, church, monastery and convent has
from three to twelve-never keyed to con-
cert pitch nor rung as chimes, but ham
mered vigorously with the cIapper, and
these people think it exquisite music.

fnl,a That rade.

was chatting the other day with the
vice president of one Of the trunk lines
of railway, when a messenger entered
with an important contract, having Il
years to run. 1t was u traffic agreement
with competing line, and was a very
valuable document 1t happened 10 De
written with a typewriter in anlllne INK.
IJpon seeing this he positively refused to
sign the paper. He then took the contract
to the president of the road and SAID:
"Mr. -, if you want to sign this con-
tract. YOU can do it, but never VIII.
When asked why, he replied: 1T Is VIII
ten in aniline ink, which fades, and long
before the expiration of this contract this
document will be entirely faded and prac-
ticaIIy worthless. - The result was the
return of the contract, with request that
hereafter all important documents, the
preservation Of which is desirable, should
be written in ink that would not fade.
During Gen. Grants term as president
one of his cabinet officers discovered that
the records of an important branch OF one
of the departments had been for two
years written in purple ink He at once
issued an order forbidding its use III the
department. purchased a new set Of books
into which two years records were copied,
and thus saved what in few years would
otherwise have been lost 1t is one OF the
problems of chemistry to find something
which will make permanent the beautiful
aniline colors, but thus far all efforts have
failed 1t is growing more and more the
custom to have deeds, contracts and valu-
able documents printed on a typewriter in
aniline ink. This is a great mistake,
because in a few years they are sure to be
obliterated. The LOunger suggests, there
fore, that merchants have all important
papers which it is desirable to keep for
number of years written in ink which, in
stead Of fading with age, will grow darker
and more permanent. There are a num-
Der of American and foreign inks which
are unexceptionable in that particular
